Book Description
One of the most hotly debated issues in the historical study of race relations is the question of how the Civil War and Reconstruction affected social relations in the South. Did the War leave class and race hierarchies intact? Or did it mark the profound disruption of a long-standing social order? Yankee Town, Southern City examines how the members of the southern community of Lynchburg, Virginia experienced four distinct but overlapping events--Secession, Civil War, Black Emancipation, and Reconstruction. By looking at life in the grog shop, at the military encampment, on the street corner, and on the shop floor, Steven Elliott Tripp illustrates the way in which ordinary people influenced the contours of race and class relations in their town.

Book Description
Like Chicago from Mrs. O'Leary's cow, or San Francisco from the earthquake of 1906, Atlanta has earned distinction as one of the most burned cities in American history. During the Civil War, Atlanta was wrecked, but not by burning alone. Longtime Atlantan Stephen Davis tells the story of what the Yankees did to his city. General William T. Sherman's Union forces had invested the city by late July 1864. Northern artillerymen, on Sherman's direct orders, began shelling the interior of Atlanta on 20 July, knowing that civilians still lived there and continued despite their knowledge that women and children were being killed and wounded. Countless buildings were damaged by Northern missiles and the fires they caused. Davis provides the most extensive account of the Federal shelling of Atlanta, relying on contemporary newspaper accounts more than any previous scholar. The Yankees took Atlanta in early September by cutting its last railroad, which caused Confederate forces to evacuate and allowed Sherman's troops to march in the next day. The Federal army's two and a half-month occupation of the city is rarely covered in books on the Atlanta campaign. Davis makes a point that Sherman's "wrecking" continued during the occupation when Northern soldiers stripped houses and tore other structures down for wood to build their shanties and huts. Before setting out on his "march to the sea," Sherman directed his engineers to demolish the city's railroad complex and what remained of its industrial plant. He cautioned them not to use fire until the day before the army was to set out on its march. Yet fires began the night of 11 November--deliberate arson committed against orders by Northern soldiers. Davis details the "burning" of Atlanta, and studies those accounts that attempt to estimate the extent of destruction in the city.

Book Description
Anthropologists since Franz Boas and Margaret Mead have traditionally gone off to study ?primitive? cultures. This collection of original essays breaks new ground in showing how anthropological theories and techniques can be applied to the culture of contemporary middle-class Americans. ø InSymbolizing America, ten well-known anthropologists pursue self and identity as cultural rather than psychological matters. Looking homeward, they ask ?What Is American about America?? ?How do we know?? and ?What difference does it make?? They analyze such aspects of American culture as advertising, mass-audience movies, patriotic and ethnic parades, church minutes, college parties, greetings, and the dilemmas of adolescent sexuality. Concerned with familiar interactions, they arrive at new insight into the experience of daily life in America. ø In their symbolic and semiotic approaches, the authors express the variety yet surprising unity of a dynamic American culture. Chapters include ?Creating America,? ?Doing the Anthropology of America,? and ??Drop in Anytime?: Community and Authenticity in American Everyday Life? by the editor, Hervä Varenne, Teachers College, Columbia University; ?Freedom to Choose: Symbols and Values in American Advertising? by William O. Beeman, Brown University; ?The story of [James] Bond? by Lee Drummond, McGill University; ?The Melting Pot: Symbolic Ritual or Total Social Fact?? by Milton Singer, University of Chicago; ?The Los Angeles Jews ?Walk for Solidarity?: Parade, Festival, Pilgrimage? by Barbara Myerhoff and Stephen Mongulla, University of Southern California; ?History, Faith, and Avoidance? by Carol Greenhouse, Cornell University; ?The Discourse of the Dorm: Race, Friendship, and ?Culture? among College Youth? by Michael Moffatt, Rutgers University; ?Why a ?Slut? is a ?Slut?: Cautionary Tales of American Middle-Class Teenage Girls? Morality? by Joyce Canaan, Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies; and an epilogue, ?on the Anthropology of America,? by John Caughey, University of Maryland.
